I am in a very big organization (1,00,000+ people). here the firewall is centrally administered. There is simply NO WAY they are going to allow this exception. OpenSuSE should have the ability to flawlessly upgrade itself behind the firewall. When my RHEL updates flawlessly behind firewall, there no excuse for OpenSuse. In fact, SuSE lost orders to RHEL due to upgrade issue. Every time I issue a Zypper update command, I hope, pray that the upgrade is flawless. But every time I have problems. Now One this that is certain is that: ZYPPER_ARIA2=0 when proxy is enable. I suggest that this be done programatically. Another thing I am convinced is that the multi threaded download is having an issue. Especially with very fast processors. I have a hunch that when more than one package is being updates, lets say 2 threads operate, the first thread will fetch and install first package, the second thread the second. However if the first thread finishes off its job very fast, while the second thread is still downloading ..then checksum errors abound. This needs to be investigated. One suggestion is that to have ZYPPER_MULTICURL=0 in case proxy is enabled. This way only one thread will download and install the packages.
